Description

The GL-235 is designed to meet the need for easy installation,
dependable operation, and serviceability. The GL-235 incorpo-
rates unique, microprocesser based construction to ensure relia-
bility and accurate performance. The GL-235 offers advanced
operating features to provide differential temperature control,
selectable high limit, programmable recirculation freeze protec-
tion, nocturnal cooling and optional booster pump control.
AUTOMATIC HEATING: If the collectors are warmer than the
pool water by 4 N or more, and the pool is below the selected
desired temperature, the valve will rotate allowing heat collection.
This heat collection will stop when the solar sensor falls to within
1.5 N F of the pool temperature or the pool temperature exeeds the
"desired temperature" set on dial.
AUTOMATIC COOLING: (Field selectable option) If the col-
lectors are cooler than the pool water by 6 N F or more, and the
pool is above the selected desired temperature, the valve will
rotate allowing cooling via the solar collectors. The heat dissipa-
tion will stop when the collectors rise within 3 N F of the pool tem-
perature or the pool temperature is lowered below the set desired
temperature.
SINGLE SETTING FOR DESIRED TEMPERATURE: The
GL-235 logic is set by a single dial adjustment with the desired
pool/spa temperatures clearly indicated. The dial is calibrated
with the temperatures from 70 N F to a high of 104 N F for quick and
easy, user-friendly operation. The temperature set indicates set
pool/spa temperature, and the GL-235 will automatically dete r-
mine if the water should be solar heated or cooled, thus maxi-
mizing the system capabilities.

TERMINAL STRIP CONNECTIONS: For input power, and
sensor inputs. Controls also have industry standard 3 pin connec-
tors for both forward and reverse valve actuator operation and
screw terminal connectors.
LED INDICATORS: Show the status of the system operation,
Four highly visible LED's show 1) power to the control, 2) power
output directing valves and/or pump to collect heat (heating), 3)
power output directing valves and/or pump to dissipate heat
(cooling), 4) sensor fault indicator shows sensor(s) not operating
properly.
GL-235 VALVE OUPUT: Rating is the industry standard 24
VAC. A jumper switches the output to 12VAC for compatibility
with older valve actuators. Output is fuse protected.
RECIRCULATION FREEZE PROTECTION: (field selectable
Operation) turns the GL-235 output ON, directing warmer
pool/spa water through the collectors when near freezing tempera-
tures are reached at the collector sensor. The GL-235 will allow
recirculation when the collector temperature rises to 42 N F. Two
10K Ohm sensors are required for operation. One or more freeze
snap switches are recommended if freeze recirculation protection
is utilized. Important--see installation instructions before using
Recirculation Freeze.
SYSTEM TEST SWITCH: Allows the user to manually over-
ride the automatic function of the GL-235 and verify operation.

    All Goldline temperature sensors are 10K Thermistors which are accirate to +/- 2 N F. The sensors are double-dip potted in silicone for Goldline will charge a fee of up to 60% of the current list plus ship- ping charges for repair or replacement.

  • Page 4: Specifications

    For older systems with 12VAC valves, an internal jumper can be moved to select 12 VAC output operation. The GL-235-LV-HV has one low voltage output for controlling a single valve and a second high voltage output for controlling a filter pump or booster pump.
  • Page 5 Other 10K ohm Goldline sensors may be substituted. Wire should be twisted pair 20AWG. Sensor wiring run outdoors must be rated for outdoor use and ensure that the wire connections are protected from the weather.
  • Page 6 Recirculate freeze protection is NOT recommended in climates where freezing temperatures are common or last for extended periods. Goldline strongly recommends the use of GC-1 or GC-2 freeze snap switches if freeze protection is being utilized. Snap switches should be wired in series with the collector sensor. Placement of the snap switches at the coldest point of the collector array and exposed plumbing will help assure that freeze protection starts early enough to protect the system.
  • Page 7: Troubleshooting

    Operation For normal operation place the switch in the “AUTO” position and adjust the desired pool/spa temperature setting. The “Power” LED indicator should always be on. (NOTE: During initial power up, the “POWER indicator will blink for approximately 10 seconds while it stabilizes temperature readings).
  • Page 8 “CHECK SENSOR” indicator on If the “CHECK SENSOR indicator is on and NOT blinking, there may be a possible open circuit or short circuit with the pool sensor. Using a voltmeter, measure the DC voltage across the terminals of the pool sensor as indicated in figure 5. If the voltage is close to zero volts, the sensor has a short to ground.
